Stay Or Go

Choose either one

Stay or Leave

It's so confusing

The day is coming in the speed of light.

It's the time to make the lifetime decision.

It is the only chance

There is no turning back once the decision is made.

Mails keep coming in

Wanting to forward to the One

Yet

Don't have the contacts

All I can do 

Is just 

Sit

and

Think

*fingers crossed*

Minyak Beku @25th of July 2010

Minyak Beku was the first place I brought my Baby to. It is because he always wanted to go to the 'Qing Ren Qiao'. You guys must be wondering why of all places he chose the bridge. It's because he saw a lot of pics on ppl going there and the view there quite not bad. So, I'm the GPS and as usual he is the driver though it's my territory. 

Firstly, we went to Segenting for the bridge and also for the amazon fishes. Then, headed to Pantai Minyak Beku which is facing the Straits of Melaka for the sunset. We spent 3 to 4 hours there. We spent most of the time waiting for the sun to set. The sun starts to set around 6smtg, but we went there around 3 smtg. For more details you can visit SHURRAJ'S BLOG(click here). The funniest thing happened was baby on his GPS in his hp to find the road to the lighthouse and at that moment GPS showed that we were on the Straits of Malacca.LMAO. 

A for the bridge, some people said couples cannot walk along the bridge together because the couples will break up. My mum doesn't know about it. So, it is still a question mark.??

I shall upload some pics now because typing isn't what I like. More pics on fb.

                                       

A good article..

I copied this article from somewhere. I find that this article is quite interesting and s written by Tunku Abdul Rahman's great granddaughter, which is a Malay girl. She wrote about races issues, the concept of 'One Malaysia' and others. I think that this article expressed what we felt about those Malay's rights and discriminant issues...A great article indeed...Enjoy ppl...

Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese. 

I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay" 

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead. 

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian. 

I've heard of the 1Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders. 

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'. 

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysia is my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there. 

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term. 

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity. 

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same. 

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with. 

Remember it was Dr M & UMNO who destroyed Tunku's Malaysia.

Green Now!!!

I was at my mum's aunt house, which was my grandaunt's house. Her house is located at somewhere near Taman Wawasan. I used to think that it was at Sungai Buloh and I only found out today.The last time I went there was more than 10 years ago and nothing much changed. That time, I explored the whole place. I played in the clear water, soaked my feet inside because it was cooling and now it still feels cooling. That time I also hunted for rubber seeds which were very easy to be found. This place is so calm and so green. I think this time will be the last time I went there.I kinda miss this good place, but not the mosquitoes...

The water is sooo clear

The road not taken

Red Fever

It's RED , RED and RED!!!!!Red is a pretty colour, but sadly it is not my favourite colour.

• Popcorn!!!!It's nice!!!!U 'pop' it youself by using microwave. This popcorn is very convenient. You just have to put the paper bag which contains the 'seed' into the microwave oven. Guess what will happen..The paper bag start to expand and eventually you will heard the awsome 'pop, pop, pop, pop' sound.It's so cool and I like it!!!!This flavour, which is 'Sweer'n Buttery' is quite nice and its not that sweet compared the caramel one we bought from cinemas.*Thumbs Up*.You guys can try it out by going to Jaya Grocer or any other places. There is also cheese flavour popcorn but it is the other brand. I wanted to buy that one, but I scare it'll taste funky.

• Coke and Kitkat!!!!The grey Coke can at the left side is Cherry Coke, and the taste its a bit funky to me. I bought it because it's special and it is something new to me.LOL.The others are normal Coke and Diet Coke. Some are empty cans while some are not and idk whether they are expired or not. Kitkat cans!!I love them!!Baby Shurraj, these are the Kitkat cans!!!I bought them because I just want the cans and actually I'm not a fan of Kitkat because they are extremely sweet. The cans are pretty, esp the picture on it. When I brought them home, mum asked me why I bought them. I told her I want the cans and she was the one who paid for these cans.

• Red Boot Mugs!!!!There are four of them, which means each of us(me, bros and sis) get one each. These mugs are actually the 'seasonal' mugs because there are words on them which are 'Christmas 2006' and there are also  Mickey Mouse and Tinkerbell(on the other side). The mug was actually together with the Tiramisu ice-cream(which was in a plastic cup).Lucky..
